A term used when a piece of previously private news or information becomes acceptable for public consumption - so much so that it could be posted as a Facebook status update or profile information change and summarily commented on by those who take interest.

We wanted to wait until the end of the first trimester to make our pregnancy Facebook public.

We were trying to keep our hook up under wraps, but because of her sister's big mouth, it became Facebook public before we were sure where things were going.
